Bengals backups are never good, since forever (which is honestly a problem--but i digress). If the starting CBs and Trey get on the field and the defense can just be near average, it should play out well. It's just a real pain watching anything other than the legit 1st string with this team and it's been like that for a loooong time. 

You'd hope they'd be competitive but it is what it is. 1st string needs to be ironmen. 

To be fair the bulk of the second string doesn't get a lot of time against another team other than preseason.  I don't follow other teams but I wonder how bad their entire second string is.
